Discussions in the HLD focussed on emphasising the importance of global cooperation and solidarity in a post COVID-19 era and agreements for further deepening bilateral trade and investment relations through a series of frequent engagements, with the aim of delivering fast results for businesses in these challenging times. In a significant step forward, the ministers also agreed to meet within the next three months for fast tracking decisions pertaining to bilateral trade & investment cooperation issues like a Bilateral Regulatory Dialogue and an India-EU Multilateral Dialogue to explore further possibilities of cooperation. The ministers concluded the dialogue with the confidence and commitment towards a renewed India-EU commercial and economic partnership reflecting full potential of bilateral commercial relations.

In a significant step forward, the ministers agreed that this partnership would formally be launched during the visit of the UK Prime Minister to India, later this year. To this effect, the ministers committed themselves to make concrete progress on the trade & investment front to deliver quick gains for both countries including joint timelines for further advances. The ministers also welcomed the deepening of bilateral health cooperation between the two countries, including on vaccines, which is enabling our countries to act as a global force for good during these challenging times.

Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to work with businesses to improve the business environment and collectively address the challenges to post- COVID-19 economic recovery. BudGet 2021-22: a promisinG outlook for the future The first ever digital Union Budget, which is also the first budget of this new decade, was presented on the 1st February 2021, with the view to lay a vision for Aatmanirbhar Bharat in the backdrop of unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. It was designed with an aim to restore growth in the aftermath of heavy economic losses suffered by the country due to Covid-19 pandemic. The budget discussed measures for multiple areas of work that are within the ambit of DPIIT. In order to improve ease of doing business for the industry, it proposed various measures to reduce regulatory compliance burden by following a systematic approach. It introduced multiple initiatives related to digitization, faceless dispute resolution and simplification and also focussed on decriminalization and simplification measures to make starting and operating a business in India easier. The Budget 2021-22 also stressed on enhancing the investment ecosystem in the country. PLI schemes for 13 sectors, with an outlay of INR 1.97 lakh crore have been launched for a period of 5 years, starting from fiscal year (FY) 2021- 22. On the focus given to the infrastructure sector in the Budget 2021-22, the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) covering 217 projects worth INR 1.1 lakh crore has been expanded to 7,400 projects, which will collectively become a vital lever for economic revival and building long-term competencies. Talking about the steps taken by the government to facilitate all-inclusive growth across various sectors, Dr. Guruprasad Mohapatra, Secretary, DPIIT, said that through the combination of PLI Schemes and the Customs Duty revision, along with certain sector-specific announcements, the Budget will unlock the domestic manufacturing potential across sectors, including renewable energy, heavy industry, agriculture, automotive, textiles and so on. Overall, the Budget 2021-22 focuses on investment promotion, infrastructure development, leveraging private investment and encouraging the social sector, thus creating a promising outlook for the future.

  • SS2016 Report
    “There cannot be a bigger contributor than Mahatama Gandhi towards Swachh Bharat Mission. In the journey of one and a half years since the launch of the Mission, I would like to acknowledge the participation and involvement of citizens of the country - especially children, as also the positive and proactive role played by the media, in the Mission’s journey till date” Narendra Modi Prime Minister SWACHH SURVEKSHAN 3 FOREWORD M. Venkaiah Naidu, Minister of Urban Development, Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation and Parliamentary Afairs As a mark of respect to the father of the nation, our govern- ment has taken an ambitious pledge to make India Open Defecation Free and clean by 2nd October, 2019 through the Swachh Bharat Mission. We have taken up a multi-pronged strategy for making this mission successful, and turning it into a people’s movement. In its second year since launch, it is heartening to note that the Swachh Bharat Mission has caught the imagination of cit- izens. The increased participation from citizens, be it as part of our thematic drives, or voluntary ‘swachhata’ activities from inspired individuals and organizations, is slowly but surely pushing the Mission towards becoming a ‘Jan Andolan’. The “Swachh Survekshan” was launched in January 2016 to assess the sanitation and solid waste management status in 73 major cities in India (comprising 40% of India’s total urban population) - including 53 cities with a population of above 10 lakhs each, and state capitals. This was the first survey since the launch of Swachh Bharat Mission in October 2014, and I would like to thank the Quality Council of India for carrying out this survey on behalf of my Ministry.

These are autonomous organizations owned, controlled and governed by the Central Government. a. A government-owned corporation, state-owned company, state-owned entity, state enterprise, publicly owned corporation, government business enterprise, commercial government agency, public sector undertaking or para-statal is a legal entity created by a government to undertake commercial activities on behalf of an owner government. Their legal status varies from being a part of government to stock companies with a state as a regular stockholder. There is no standard definition of a government-owned corporation (GOC) or state-owned enterprise (SOE), although the two terms can be used interchangeably. The defining characteristics are that they have a distinct legal form and they are established to operate in commercial affairs. While they may also have public policy objectives, GOCs should be differentiated from other forms of government agencies or state entities established to pursue purely non-financial objectives.
